MacOS Sierra

I'm wary of upgrading to the first point release of new OSX releases. There's always something that seems to break my dev environment.

I guess it's time to roll the dice and see how much of homebrew and my build environments break.

None of the features I see really interest me, it's just stuff that integrates with their other services none of which I don't use anyways.

I'm really confused. There already were two posts today regarding the new MacOS release:

If you're using a Razer mouse, don't upgrade :) Causes kernel panics and a reboot loop (remove RazerHid kext to fix and launchctl remove all com.razer stuff, then replace Synapse with something like SteerMouse).

This was sure a weird one - everything works fine until you start moving a mouse at which point you catch a kernel panic.

List of petty annoyances:

- Can't reinstall haskell-stack from Homebrew.

- Karabiner can no longer remap keyboard keys, and seems to be no longer being maintained because development moved to another project.

- CPU is stuck at 100% doing some sort of "optimization"

- Macs Fan Control stops/starts controlling fans randomly

I've had 0 issues with Homebrew since upgrading at beta one. The only reason it broke with last years OS update to 10.11 was because of rootless.

Also note: They removed support for PPTP vpn. While good for security may screw you if that's all you can use.

Well, this broke Junos Pulse and Outlook 2013 sending

Do I need it? Not sure.

Do I want it? Way ahead of you!
